Abstract
Recently, autonomous steering systems for emergency obstacle avoidance have been studied extensively in order to reduce collision accidents. Among these researches, there is a research issue how the autonomous steering assistance function should be designed in order to obtain good driver acceptance when both human and the system conduct the driving task simultaneously as a shared control task. This paper describes the evaluation of shared driving characteristics between human drivers and the active steering system for obstacle avoidance assistance system using the steer-by-wire system. The shared driving characteristics between the driver and the active steering system are investigated by theoretical man-machine system analysis and the driving simulator reconstructing a dangerous scenario.
